Better Bargain? Bulleit vs Knob Creek Reserve

I've already bought 2 of the first and 3 of the latter. I've had a couple pours of the Bulleit, which I like and find represents the Four Roses style very well. I believe it's fine everyday bourbon.

I don't care for Beam Black and haven't tried much else in the Beam line so far (only the Kirkland small batch, which I found good). Yet, most reviews of KC1B are good to great with the only reservation involving price.

They're discontinued. They know the prices, they have 'em as 1/2 off. Funny thing - Knob Creek Small Batch is still $40. Bourbon enthusiasm hasn't really hit here, yet. They only had 1 KC1B out at first, I bought it and came back the next day - 3 more appeared. Here's the best part, my wife not only encouraged me, but asked if she should buy some (for gifts), too!

State minimums here I think don't allow anything to go on sale. So we pay about 25 for a bottle of Bulleit and I'm not sure about the KB, but i'm positive its more then that. Both good prices. Thats all I can really comment on as I haven't actually had either.
